Variable Stride Counting for Timed-Triggers in a Radio Frequency Front End (rffe) Bus

2. The IC of claim 1, wherein the two-wire bus interface comprises a radio frequency front end (RFFE) bus interface.

3. The IC of claim 2, wherein the control circuit is configured to operate as a bus ownership master (BOM) for an RFFE system.

4. The IC of claim 1, wherein the control circuit is further configured to generate a datagram with stride parameters and send the datagram with the stride parameters to a slave device through the two-wire bus interface.

5. The IC of claim 4, wherein at least one stride parameter comprises a stride direction, wherein the stride direction provides an instruction for a remote counter to count up or count down.

6. The IC of claim 4, wherein at least one stride parameter comprises an edge count instruction indicating to a remote counter to count based on a rising edge or a falling edge.

7. The IC of claim 1, wherein the control circuit is further configured to use a counter to track a second counter in a remote slave.

8. The IC of claim 7, wherein the control circuit is further configured to vary the stride length based on the counter.

9. The IC of claim 1, wherein the control circuit is further configured to change a stride size while sending a datagram to a remote slave through the two-wire bus interface.

10. The IC of claim 1, wherein the control circuit is further configured to send the one clock tick to a remote slave at a trigger time.

11. The IC of claim 1 integrated into a device selected from the group consisting of: a set top box; an entertainment unit; a navigation device; a communications device; a fixed location data unit; a mobile location data unit; a global positioning system (GPS) device; a mobile phone; a cellular phone; a smart phone; a session initiation protocol (SIP) phone; a tablet; a phablet; a server; a computer; a portable computer; a mobile computing device; a wearable computing device; a desktop computer; a personal digital assistant (PDA); a monitor; a computer monitor; a television; a tuner; a radio; a satellite radio; a music player; a digital music player; a portable music player; a digital video player; a video player; a digital video disc (DVD) player; a portable digital video player; an automobile; a vehicle component; avionics systems; a drone; and a multicopter.

13. The IC of claim 12, wherein the two-wire bus interface comprises a radio frequency front end (RFFE) bus interface.

14. The IC of claim 12, wherein the triggered element comprises a low noise amplifier (LNA).

15. The IC of claim 12, wherein the control circuit is configured to receive the stride length as a datagram from the master.

16. The IC of claim 15, wherein the datagram further includes at least one stride parameter.

17. The IC of claim 16, wherein the at least one stride parameter comprises an indication that the counter is to count down on the receipt of the clock tick or count up on the receipt of the clock tick.

18. The IC of claim 16, wherein the at least one stride parameter comprises an indication that the counter is to count based on a rising edge or count based on a falling edge.

19. The IC of claim 15, wherein the control circuit is configured to receive a second datagram without using the stride length.

20. The IC of claim 12 integrated into a device selected from the group consisting of: a set top box; an entertainment unit; a navigation device; a communications device; a fixed location data unit; a mobile location data unit; a global positioning system (GPS) device; a mobile phone; a cellular phone; a smart phone; a session initiation protocol (SIP) phone; a tablet; a phablet; a server; a computer; a portable computer; a mobile computing device; a wearable computing device; a desktop computer; a personal digital assistant (PDA); a monitor; a computer monitor; a television; a tuner; a radio; a satellite radio; a music player; a digital music player; a portable music player; a digital video player; a video player; a digital video disc (DVD) player; a portable digital video player; an automobile; a vehicle component; avionics systems; a drone; and a multicopter.
